The leaves all radiate from a central point, have drip tips and the
inflorescence is getting about far enough along to send a pic. As I said,
there are two large leaves and the inflorescence at the top of the five f=oot
stem. All I can say is that if it is consanguineum, which it does look ve=ry
much like, it is fully 6 weeks later than any of my other consanguineums,=of
which there are about 15 in the garden.

Are you saying that in consanguineum the spadix is "S" curved? I've never
noticed that.

I'm not sure what you mean by "palmate". Do all the leaflets radiate from=a
central point (section Sinarisaema)?  If so, it could be consanguineum,
erubescens or formosanum, although it is both later and larger than any I='ve
seen personally. If the leaflets are more pedate, then A. tortuosum is a
good
bet, both from timing and size. I used to have one that was six feet tall
and
appeared in July, although the ones I have now are earlier-appearing. The
sigmoid shape of the spadix should tell you.

I'd be happy to see a photo of the  flower.
